Zaheer's Dark Age terrain, painted pics on page 2
« on: August 28, 2015, 09:52:12 AM »
A few of you may have seen the Clochan which I made a long time ago, and which was featured in Mason's incredible Mordheim thread. Well, being a glutton for punishment and having felt like I could do a lot better since I finished the last hut all that time ago, I've had another crack, taking a more methodical approach. I hope that you like what I have so far, as ever I've noticed a whole host of things to address since taking the photos, but I present it here warts 'n all for c&c.









This will be available for sale at some point I imagine, but I'll need to knock a few more masters together before getting the silicon in. Any requests?

Bigger than the last one (which gets a lot of use in my games). Count me in for one of these too, as for requests......a small rectangular version with turf roof, or even without the roof as scratchbuilding a roof l could probably manage.

My take on v1 is here;

Thank you everyone.

Dijit, each 'stone' is a snapped piece of plaster, it's a case of snap glue snap glue...

Robh, I'm working on a version of the Gallarus Oratory next, I think I may make it a two-part cast which could take the corbelled roof or a thatched version.

Looks amazing! Both buildings will be great e.g. for a Irish warband in SAGA.

Add me to the list, mate.

The first one was great and paints up really easy.
Highly recommended!

Here is my take on the first version that Zaheer made...





The new ones look great and should take to drybrushing in the same way, very easily, so I see no reason why I should not grab myself another.

Excellent stuff  :-*.

I was once involved in the making of a travellers rest shelter something like this for real at Kielder Reservoir!
